“. . . thou shalt shine forth, thou shalt be as the morning.” (Job 11:17)
This Bible Lesson lifts us up, out and away from the false notion of man as purely material, to the understanding of God, Soul, Spirit, as creator and Father-Mother of all creation.
“Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the Lord is risen upon thee.” (Isaiah 60:1)
“What are body and Soul?
“Identity is the reflection of Spirit, the reflection in multifarious forms of the living Principle, Love. Soul is the substance, Life, and intelligence of man, which is individualized, but not in matter. Soul can never reflect anything inferior to Spirit.
“Man is the expression of Soul. The Indians caught some glimpses of the underlying reality, when they called a certain beautiful lake “the smile of the Great Spirit.” Separated from man, who expresses Soul, Spirit would be a nonentity; man, divorced from Spirit, would lose his entity. But there is, there can be, no such division, for man is coexistent with God.” (Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy, p. 477:19, 20-2)
